[issue10955] Possible regression with stdlib in zipfile

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Oh, py2app is implemented in Python and use the zipfile module. So if we can control how the filename is encoded, we can fix py2app to workaround this limitation :-)

7zip and WinRAR uses the same algorithm than ZipFile._encodeFilename(): try cp437 or use UTF-8. Eg. if a filename contains ∞ (U+221E), it is encoded to UTF-8.

WinZIP encodes all filenames to cp437: ∞ (U+221E) is replaced by 8 (U+0038), ☺ (U+263A) is replaced by... U+0001 !
